SAY Awards In-stores: Happy Particles and Aidan Moffat

This weekend some of the Scottish Album of the Year Award hopefuls performed a series of In-store shows across Glasgow. Unfortunately due to public transport I missed Conquering Animal Sound at Love Music and only caught the end of Graeme Ronald’s solo Remember Remember set at HMV on Buchanan Street. The one song I did catch was a belter though.

Here are some snaps I managed to get from Happy Particles set at HMV and Aidan Moffat’s performance at the Apple Store.

The winner of the first SAY Award will be announced this week.

LIGHT PARADES - SPARKLE NOW ONLINE!!

Today is the official release date of Light Parades’ Sparkle EP which also means that I can now show you the music video that Factotum Films shot in December! And here it is!

This was one of the toughest, if not THE toughest shoot we’ve ever done. The conditions, although it doesn’t look that way in the video, were very testing for the crew and especially for our Actor Jade Lindores. We shot the opening scene at 7am on a Saturday morning and it was wet and cold, between takes we had to wrap jade up to prevent her from getting hypothermia. The shoot took longer due to the rain going on and off.

Other annoyances were that it snowed over night while shooting which changed everything. But it gave the time travel element of the story a nice feel.

After that endurance test, editing and waiting tight lipped for the release date it gives me great pleasure to finally reveal this video and I hope you all enjoy it.

Written & Directed by - Tim Courtney
Produced by - Duncan Leishman
Director Of Photography - Sam Brill
Costumes - Lori Marshall
Editing & Colour Correction - Tim Courtney

Starring - Jade Lindores & Paul Massie

Katerwaul - February EP We’re releasing an EP soon, we don’t know when but soon. The details are fairly vague but its being released in the run up to our Album which will be out later in the year. The main track on it will be February but the EP might not be called that, because if this thing is released in March I won’t stand for the “but its not February any more” jokes, but until then that’s what we’ve been calling it at Katerwaul HQ. I’ve been working on some album artwork and layouts for yet ANOTHER Katerwaul book and if all goes according to plan then we get to ***[EDIT: sorry the big boys at Brave Or Invincible have kindly requested I delete that from the blog]*** which I’m sure you’re all going to agree is gonna be FUCKING ACE!!! This image of what the EP could/probably will look like will give you a little taste of what the new album art will be like (ie pretty different but totally the same old Tim Courtney shit of paper textures and blurry photography). Enjoy.

LIGHT PARADES - SPARKLE

Over the last couple of month’s I’ve been busy in Factotum Films mode. Shaun and I have been working on a short video clip for a movie that we can’t really talk about until its release next Oct, so until then that’s all you can expect to hear. However Duncan has dawned his producer cap for a music video I have written and directed for the band Light Parades.

Dan from Light Parades asked me a short while ago to write and direct a promo video for the band’s single from their debut album/EP. As yet the album/EP is untitled but their single isa beautiful atmospheric slow burner called Sparkle.

I don’t want to get into specifics of the video’s narrative so for now you’ll have to make do with these teaser images until the video is ready for release. The release date will be set by the band but we’re expecting it to be around February/March sort of time.

As always I’ll let you know nearer the time.

Written & Directed by Tim Courtney
Produced by Duncan Leishman
Cinematography by Sam Brill
Starring Jade Lindores, Paul Massie
Costumes by Lori Marshall

These are some pictures I took the other day when it stopped raining in Glasgow. It was around 3pm and the sun was hanging low in the sky. These were meant to be recce pictures for a music video but they fit my running theme at the moment.

Here are some more Katerwaul work in progress lyrics to accompany these photographs. 

You, Love & I

The sun will set behind your silhouette
And the clouds will glow red
For red is the colour of our love
And red is the colour of blood 

You, love & I when the tyrants have won
We’ll evaporate into the sun
Some memories are only lies
These memories won’t die

So either way we’ll dwindle & blaze
Then take hope in these sorrowful days

The Sleeping Garden

Goodbye Sleeping Garden
Farewell northern seas
For we’ll all have to slumber now
While the city crumbles to its knees

Goodbye Silver City
Farewell affluence & gold
The tyrants discontent
Will never replace the memories they stole

Goodbye a decade of love & loss
Farewell equality
I promise you’ll awake one day
To salvage your former glory

Then…

They’ll turn off their drills
Hold on…
They’ll turn off their drills
Hold on…

Departures

Sometimes its hard to believe in this world
Its easier to trust if you just shut your eyes
Depart to a place we understand
Everything that comes together
Will only be torn apart
And over our cities grass will grow
Depart Depart to a place we understand
